Introduction
If you’re exploring ways to extend your outdoor living space with a glass veranda, one of the first things you’ll want to know is how much it costs and what determines the final price.
In this guide, we’ll break down the average costs for different dimensions and the factors that influence pricing when you get a quotation.
How Much Does a Glass Veranda Cost?
The cost of a glass veranda in the UK typically starts from around £4,500 for a small, open-sided aluminium veranda with a glass roof. However, prices can rise to £15,000 or more depending on size and customisation options.
For example, for the supply and installation of a 4x3m veranda (a popular choice for patios and gardens), the price starts from:
£4,500 for a standard open-sided aluminium veranda with a glass roof
Up to £15,000+ for a fully enclosed design featuring either fixed glass gables, aluminium side panels or sliding glass doors
A breakdown of typical price ranges in the UK market are shown below:
3x2m Veranda: £3,500–£4,500
4x3m Veranda: £4,500–£6,500
6x4m Veranda: £7,000–£10,000+ (depending on materials and features)
What Factors Influence the Cost of a Veranda?
Understanding the factors which influence the cost of a veranda can help you plan a realistic budget to choose the best design for your space and needs.
Below are the four key factors that determine how much your veranda may cost and what to consider when planning your investment:
Size and Dimensions
The size of your veranda is the single biggest cost driver because larger verandas require more materials, stronger support structures, and longer installation times, which naturally increase the price.
Roof Type
The choice of roofing material plays a major role in the overall price because each type offers different properties, production costs and installation times. Below are three of the most common veranda roof types:
Polycarbonate: A budget-friendly option that provides good protection from rain and UV rays while allowing natural light through.
Glass: Toughened glass panels are more costly, but they enhance natural light, while offering superior clarity and sound insulation, to create a premium, contemporary appearance.
Bioclimatic (Louvred): The most advanced and therefore most expensive option, featuring adjustable aluminium blades that allow you to control light, shade and ventilation at the touch of a button.
Enclosures
Adding aluminium side panels, sliding glass doors or fixed glass gables, turns a standard veranda into a fully enclosed outdoor room.
These upgrades increase costs due to the extra glass, framing materials, and fitting work required. However, they also improve weather protection and usability, making your veranda comfortable to enjoy in all seasons.
Site Conditions
Installation costs vary depending on your property and site conditions. If your veranda can be installed directly onto a level patio, the process is quicker and more affordable. However, if the site requires ground preparation, levelling, or bespoke brackets, this increases labour time and complexity, and therefore cost.
Conclusion
When it comes to understanding the cost of a glass veranda, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The final price depends on several important factors, such as the size, roof type, level of enclosure and installation requirements.
